Russia was into our elections @ the county level

GREEN BAY County websites of the Democratic Party in the area have been under attack, at least one apparently by Russian hackers, an officer of the party said.
What appears to have been Russian hackers compromised the website of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Party as well as the sites of seven county Democratic party organizations, said Mary Ginnebaugh, who chairs the congressional district as well as the Brown County Democratic parties.
Russian hackers have been accused on the national level with interfering with the U.S. presidential election by getting into the Democratic National Committees website as well as that of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington.
While no one can prove beyond doubt that Russians also were involved in the local hack job, two hackers left calling cards with Russian email addresses on the local websites in an apparent gesture of contempt or braggadocio, Ginnebaugh said. Green Bay police were notified and have forwarded information to the FBI, she said.

(25,111 posts)Cheating, stealing, voter suppression and lying at the highest level and now they want to do it across the USA. This is not democracy. The next time I hear about "freedom" and "patriotism" I will sincerely think of the Democratic Party.

(70,289 posts)The D Sec. of State had a 5 to 6 point lead going into the election but
he lost by 9 or 10 points? A 14 point swing at the last minute.
I hope we get to expose the whole rat's nest of election rigging by the GOP.
